OmniDrive Firmware Lets Blu-Ray Drives Rip Gamecube, Wii, and Xbox 360 Games
Third-party firmware called OmniDrive, based on the MediaTek MT1959 chipset and developed for Hitachi-LG Data Storage Blu-ray drives, enables the drives to read and rip game discs from older consoles including GameCube, Wii, original Xbox, and Xbox 360. The firmware improves read accuracy and supports CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and derivative media. A tutorial from the YouTube channel Archades Games demonstrates the process, and tests showed perfect ISO rips of Xbox 360 games. The firmware is not compatible with all drives and can brick incompatible hardware.
